Carpathian Bear Country Trek

Challenging20 daysEurope~£2,500 est.
Overview
The Romanian Carpathians have the highest density of brown bears in Europe — an estimated 6,000 animals in the mountain forests of Transylvania and Moldavia. Trekking the 1,500 km Via Carpatica long trail from Slovakia through Poland and Ukraine into Romania follows the ridge of the Carpathian arc through bear, wolf, and lynx territory on trails that are still largely unmarked and require navigation. Village guesthouses, forest ranger huts, and wild camping are the accommodation.
